Damn man, why don't you buy an F-15 instead, lol.

Doubt it would stay together very long. Isn't the safe limit on those engines around 450 whp?

You going to keep the SRT and get another vehicle, or trade it?
Nooo, PD I really like your car. You have to keep it man, and if you get an SUV you should look at some of the new ford escapes, they're really pulling their act together.

And with the SRT's I was always told anything near 500 is asking for trouble? I don't know what mods you have PD but I am also told the stock clutches are prone to failure at those levels(?).
(Sorry if I'm totally off, but still learning haha)

I'm not offended, If I even get the tires/wheels to go I know it will take alot of track visits to run close to it's potential. I know I would be doing good just for high 11's the first few times. I just really think driving it to it's potential it should do pretty good.

Funny thing though I've been checking into it now because the guy I bought the car from said it was a Delta-44, though the housing is stamped GARRETT, instead of AGP. I recently got in touch with the previous owner and he said one of Nigels friends owned the kit before him so I sent him a PM to see if he can verify. I called AGP first and they said there could be a possibility they ran out and just used the housing, though he said it could be a diff turbo all together. IDK, guess I will have to wait and see.

I would be focusing on mod's to get it hook rather then even more power.

should be pretty quick indeed. I was going to guess 11.5

That would be cool if you found out it was bigger than the 44. Might have to change your tuning plans to suit a bigger snail if thats the case to keep things safe but it'll make that low 11 second pass alot easier if it turnsout to be something like a 35R.

Well the turbo kit was originally Turbo666's friends so I got in touch with him and it's just the D44. I'm going to NC middle of March to have it 100% dialed in on high boost.AGP rates it good for 440whp maxed on race gas, but I know the TDS dyno is a huge heartbreaker though. Putt around with that for awhile and hope next summer I can add headstuds/cams/etc and swap to a bigger Delta and tune for 500whp with a spot on tune by Nigel (Turbo666).

Damn right man, I love guns as much or more than fast cars. We shoot about once a month out in there in Lizard Lick. Friend of mine has some farmland out there. You're welcome to head out there with us anytime.
